Default mark and number of the beast

I was doing some research on the mark and I found something very interesting. It turns out that the hebrews had a system of numerology called gematria that allowed them to speak against the roman emperor without the authorities knowing. And it just so happens that emperor Nero's name in this system was 666. The Bible states in rev13:18, " here is wisdom. let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:for it is the number of a man: and his number is 666."(KJV). Also talking about the mark of the beast, the coins used in the empire and Nero's head stamped on all of them. This could be the mark of the beast, as noone could by or sell without using these coins. I think they also had to have it stamped on their hands to, not sure. The part about the mark in the forehead could refer to the image of the coin being in the minds of all within the empire.
